Nose: Rum for sure but also hints of toffee. Spices and vanilla present as well.

Taste: Spicy with ginger present. The sweet flavours of toffee and vanilla are present and, again, you can detect the rum.

Finish: Plenty of rum and spices. Vanilla again and maybe some cocoa. Seems a bit short to me.

Balance: Rum continues right through as does the spice and the sweetness of vanilla.

This whisky is an interesting experiment but not to my taste, and I quite like Rum. I found this slightly disappointing as did my fellow enthusiasts. The finish seems short and incomplete. I felt a bit thick-headed after tasting this, which is unusual. Bit of a shame overall but still interesting, and if distilleries continue to experiment with new ideas then I'm all for that!
